TRANSMIGRATION 2016 UC College-Conservatory of Music Drama March 10-12 CCM Village [University Heights]
Coordinated by Richard E. Hess
Produced by Brant Russell
TRANSMIGRATION, so named for “the movement from one place to another” or “the transition from one state of being to another,” is a festival of new works created by the acting students in CCM Drama. Six teams of actors craft and perform five original 30-minute shows. Performed simultaneously in different locations throughout CCM Village, TRANSMIGRATION will allow the audience to sample four different new works of their choosing in one spectacular evening. “Thanks to the drama program at UC’s College-Conservatory of Music,” observed CityBeat’s Rick Pender, “theater fans were offered a jolt of onstage vitality.”
Admission is free, but reservations are required. Tickets become available at noon on Monday, March 7. Visit the CCM Box Office or call 513-556-4183 to reserve. Limit two tickets per order.

CELTIC WOMAN CELEBRATES #1 WORLD MUSIC ALBUM, DESTINY Ninth Album #1 Debut on Billboard’s World Albums Chart
Thursday, March 24, 2016 – 7:00 PM Aronoff Center – Procter & Gamble Hall
New York, NY. February 1, 2016 – Irish music sensation CELTIC WOMAN celebrates the release of its newest album, DESTINY, which debuted #1 on Billboard’s World Music Chart in January. The release marks their 9th record to debut at the #1 spot in their decade-long career and continues to hold the #1 slot for a 2nd straight week.
Celtic Woman will perform songs from DESTINY on its 85-city North American tour that stops at the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall for one night only on Thursday, March 24 at 7:00pm. Tickets prices start at $48.25 (prices subject to change) and are on sale now at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office.
Watch the Destiny trailer:
The heart of Ireland beats strongly throughout the tour featuring an entirely new production showcasing vocalists Mairéad Carlin, Susan McFadden and newest member Éabha McMahon along with Celtic violinist and founding member Máiréad Nesbitt, accompanied by a group of equally talented musicians and dancers.
DESTINY CD/DVD (Manhattan Records) is Celtic Woman’s 10th CD and first of all-new material since 2011’s Believe. DESTINY features a fresh fusion of traditional Irish music and modern songcraft, including theWaterboys classic “The Whole of the Moon,” Ed Sheeran’s “I See Fire,” from The Hobbit film, Mutt Lange’s “Walk Beside Me” and the popular video game theme, “Skyrim.” As Ireland commemorates the events of 100 years ago that led to its nation’s independence, Celtic Woman offers a rousing version of “Óró sé do bheatha ‘bhaile,” an anthem closely connected with the 1916 uprising. The all-female ensemble also delivers timeless traditional Irish songs such as “Bean Pháidín” and “Siúil A Run” highlighting the beauty of Ireland’s heritage and its Gaelic language, plus audience favorites “Amazing Grace” and “You Raise Me Up.”
The companion DVD Destiny: Live in Concert was filmed in Dublin in the Round Room at the Mansion House, the historic home of the Lord Mayor of Dublin. The concert has already begun airing on local public television stations as the latest in Celtic Woman’s lengthy series of successful PBS television concert specials.
The multi-platinum, all-female ensemble made its debut on PBS in 2005 and has achieved massive success encompassing 10 chart-topping albums, nine PBS specials, over eight million albums sold, and platinum sales in nine countries. Celtic Woman regularly performs to sellout audiences across six continents and 23 countries, with an especially devoted following in America.
